Pictures Speak Louder Than Words

Tonight the Mets beat the Marlins 5-4. With two outs and trailing 2-1, with no one on in the Mets ninth, Luis Castillo singled. Next DWright singled (remind you a little of game 6 in '86?), and DelGado was plunked, loading the bases. Up to the plate steps Beltran:

Grand Salami, an official Booo-Yaaaah!

Of course, Ayala couldn't make it easy in the bottom of the ninth. Got the first two outs, before giving up four straight hits, making the score 5-4, before recording the final out. Maybe Cancel should have told him there was one out. Ayala seems to have a problem with two out and none on. Remeber Philly???

**** Tonight's Stars ****

Carlos Beltran: 2-4 with 5 RBI

Daniel Murphy made a nice play in LF saving a run; he cut the ball off going into the LF corner, and threw a strike, on the run, to Jose Reyes, keeping the tying run from scoring.
